Ive had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money for them! At one point, fed up with my complaint,

9、a friend suggested I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs.”Supper clubs are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner party you go to a strangers house and he/she cooks dinner for you. Like a restaurant, you pay for your food, but like a dinner party, you e

10、at at the same table as other people. They are advertised through social-networking sites with a menu and little information about where the supper club is until just before the meal.“Its like running a secret restaurant for one night,” says Cassie. “The next morning, I set the tables and chairs asi

11、de. I put the TV back and its my living room again.”Cassie opens her “restaurant” for people about once a month, and she really enjoys the evenings shes had so far. She uses fresh, local ingredients and a typical meal costs about the same as a takeaway much less than a restaurant meal. So how does s

12、he make money out of it?“I dont,” says Cassie. “In fact, at first I was worried about losing money on my club. Im good at cooking but my maths is terrible! But I was surprised by how cheaply I could make a good meal. This isnt about money. Its about a different eating experience.”And what about invi

C Many people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each

16、 other, but for the human beings who have them as pets.When communicating with each other, cats “talk” with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any kind of “speech”, act as an important way to express themselves. They also touch each other to express s their feelings. With other cats, they

17、 will use their voices only to express pain. Unbelievable, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal (声音的) expressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal expressions are not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats

18、 developed this “language” to communicate with their human owners.This fact is shown more clearly when watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. An only cat is usually very vocal, since the only creature(动物)around with whom the cat can communicate is its owner. Cats with oth

19、er cats, though, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way.Since cats learned to meow(喵喵叫)for the only purpose of communicating with human owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an own

20、er knows, to name just a few examples, which meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little “conversation”, the relationship between cat and owner will be closer.8If a cat among other cats finds part of its body hurts, it may expr

23、onth could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13,800 children wh

24、o were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of si

25、x.“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher I

26、Q scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive bene

27、fit for the children.”Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful fee

28、ding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies life,” Dr. Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of th
